I don't see why from your email, but my only point was that having both polymorphic versions of functions in the Prelude, and monomorphic ones in Data.List, will probably be worse than either of the other two options (the fully polymorphic version being prepared, and the status quo you want to keep).
If you import from Data.List with qualification there is no name clash. I predict that many arguments pro the intended changes in 7.10 in this thread will boil down to the habit of many Haskell programmers to neglect both qualified and explicit imports, which I find sad.
